Will Ralph Lauren’s Next Models be Military Women?

When we got wind that there may be chatter between the United States Navy and American fashion designer Ralph Lauren on the force’s new service uniforms we got pretty excited.

Aside from Michele Obama’s chic designer style, Washington, DC and New York aren’t exactly known for style exchanges. French train workers have been outfitted by Christian Lacroix, and airlines have frequently turned to designers to punch up the style for their flight crews, but we’re pretty sure designer styled military uniforms are a first.

Bejeweled: Fashion Under $100

After the prominence of pastels and neons this summer, this fall season brings rich, jewel tones back to the front of our wardrobes.

Ever heard of mass market razor blades for leg and face shaving that feature diamond-encrusted edges?

We haven’t either, but a German company called GFD, founded by a man named Andre Flöter, has been selling synthetic diamond-coated razor blades for the last seven years. Up until now, GFD only sold the blades for industrial uses such as in medical scalpels and tools that cut plastic sheeting. That’s about to change, as Flöter plans to mine his way onto drugstore shelves.

New Kindle Selling Faster Thans Previous Models
